Description

This scholarly work by Karen J. Lloyd examines the complex relationship between art patronage and political power in seventeenth-century Rome, drawing on extensive archival research. Focusing on cardinal nephews who rose to prominence in the Church, the book reveals how these influential figures commissioned works by master artists including Guido Reni and Gian Lorenzo Bernini to advance their political agendas and reshape perceptions of nepotism as legitimate Catholic governance. Through analysis of strategically designed frescoes, emotionally compelling paintings, sculptures, and collections of curiosities, Lloyd demonstrates how cardinal nephews leveraged their privileged proximity to papal authority to establish cultural and religious authority. The book provides fresh insights into the intersection of art, religion, and Renaissance politics, offering readers a deeper understanding of how visual culture functioned as a tool of persuasion and power consolidation in early modern Rome.

Key Features

Examines cardinal nephews in seventeenth-century Rome and their use of art commissions to consolidate religious and political power.

Features detailed analysis of works by renowned artists Guido Reni and Gian Lorenzo Bernini within their patronage context.

Drawing on rich archival research, Lloyd provides historical evidence for how visual displays served political purposes in the early modern Church.

Published by Routledge as part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series, offering scholarly context for Renaissance art and patronage studies.
